Hi all,
I recently put together a Shuttle XPC SN85GV3 to drive a display in my dining room with input from my LAN and cable feed. I consistently had installation errors while trying to install Windows Home Edition. I swapped out the CPU, hard drive, and the DVD ROM drive to no avail. I finally removed one of the two Kingston Value Ram 256MB ram modules from the motherboard and was able to install Windows. I then removed the remaining module and swapped it with the module that I had originally removed. I was then able to reinstall Windows again without a problem. However, when I have both ram modules installed on the motherboard, I cannot get Windows to install. The BIOS is the original V3 version and there have been two updates. However, the description of the updates do not address a ram problem.
I guess that the bottom line is, has anyone else experienced a ram module problem with this model Shuttle and how did you resolve it? I am beginning to suspect that it is a motherboard problem and the unit will have to go back to Shuttle for repair unless updating the BIOS will resolve the problem which is the next step after trying a different brand of memory modules.
Regards,
TCIII
